I want to Feelworld L1 V1 video switcher. I would like to know if I connect the switcher to a camera located 50meters away, will there be problems with video quality?
A lot of people are having problems updating the firmware, due to the inability to get their computer to talk with the LivePro via their computer network. The easiest solution is to get someone with some basic networking knowledge to help. Otherwise, some hints 1) Use a network cable to connect your LivePro to the same router used by your computer (computer can be either wired or wireless) 2) Set the IP Address in LivePro to DHCP (this will ask the LivePro to get a valid IP address from your router). This makes the LivePro and your computer able to talk with each other 3) Go to the Info page of the LivePro (last item in the Menu items) to see the IP address set in step (2) 4) Continue with the rest of the update process Hope this helps
Important news. There is a similar device called RGBlink mini - and it is the original thing, Feelworld ordered the manufacturing from RGBlink. And you know what - it is firmware-compatible. So, essentially the same except the top housing panel design and price difference (RGBlink is a bit more expensive and isn't sold on Aliexpress - but is available from reputable sellers like B&H and Adorama in the USA, and Thomann in Europe). RGBlink are slightly more responsible about their firmware updates, so just now I did an experiment of feeding the RGBlink's mid-December 2020 firmware to L1. And you know? It totally works. My device still thinks it is a Feelworld Livepro L1, retains its original splash screen and serial number, but the actual firmware is new (1.19/1.03 instead of my original 1.17/0.40) - like, some terminology changes in menus (“EMBEDDED” in audio is now called “AFV”) and new PIP functionality added, you can now switch PIP image independently of the main one (there is an A/B option in PIP menu). I did not check the analog audio sync since I need only a non-following HDMI audio. RGBlink's XPOSE and XTOOL desktop/smartphone software are also fully compatible. So I'm completely sure that it is some badge engineering with price reduction on the Feelworld's part. Also, RGBlink has a mini+ device - which Feelworld dubs Livepro L2. The differences are that: 1) the Feelworld's L2 is mentioned only in their paper instruction manual and is absent on their websites and on Aliexpress, while mini+ is there at least on the manufacturer's website; 2) mini+/L2 has the DSK (keying) and logo embedding functions that mini/L1 lack. So it made me think: what if the difference is purely in the badge and the firmware, and hardware is completely similar? In the end I decided to flash my L1 with a mini+ firmware - and bingo, it works! At that, my device still retained its name and serial number, and the XPOSE software still does not allow doing keying and logo uploading. Moreover, RGBlink pulled their mini and mini+ firmware files off both their English and Chinese websites (at least for the time being), but I still have the files. I am now also pondering on how to circumvent that limitation, so I tasked some of my programming-savvy friends with reverse-engineering the mini+ firmware and, possibly, the XPOSE executable and five DLLs that are of consequence. The only thing that needs to be done is renaming the device - which, oddly enough, does not come with updating its firmware. Not sure of the outcome because it isn't a paid job on their part, but if there are any updates I'll post them here. Also, the mixer has a Keil web server at port 80 but it is not configured and thus useless. Probably it was a stock part of the main chip SDK, or maybe some provisional thing for the future firmware releases Greetings from Moscow, Russia.
Sir, you seem to be the one best to answer some of my questions so I think I've got it boiled down to about 1 you do your homework and that's impressive and I'm not really a tech guy I'm a Creator I like writing stories and doing stuff like that producing but but I'm really stumped so here's my question
Very helpful review. Definitely better. I'm still returning my LivePro L1. I want an easy one-click way to do PIP (on and off) as well as an audio delay for syncing. I'm going to buck up and spend for the with the Roland VR1-HD (actually just received it but haven't set it up yet). I have an ATEM mini on the way also. One will end up going back. The Yolo box looks pretty cool also.
The ATEM will be the item for that sort of work for sure. Audio delay is only handy for the realtime analog audio inputs. you won't use it if the audio is going via the camera.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Hello, I want to purchase the Feelworld L1 V1 video switcher. But I would like to know if I connect the switcher to a camera located 50meter, will I have problem with the video quality?
can you please go more in depth with how you did firmware set up. Step-by-step would help and showing exactly how your doing it. I've watched your video and the Feelworld official one and I still can't get my unit to connect to do the update.
Thanks for the review, I ordered the L1, and I also own the Yolobox. The L1 won't be here for a few weeks but was hoping you would do a video on using the two devices together as more of a wireless solution... Thank you I really enjoy your reviews!!
just because you don't know what purpose a feature serves doesn't mean they should be deleted. the split screen effects are meant so you unstrech the image on a sofware and have the ability to get 2 video inputs via usb. obviously you lose some resolution doing that but it works for what it was meant to do.
Hi mate, brilliant video, could you please be more precise with the setting of the IP Address, do you copy the ip[ address of the computer and put it into the Livepro or do you put the ip address of the Livepro and put it in the computer network settings, myself and a lot of other Livepro users are struggling with this, thanks in advance mate and keep up the good work.
Just hook it up to your switch with an ethernet cable and odds are the unit will assign its own IP on your network. You can find the IP easily by using the menu dial. :)
Rather warm. Like handwarming-warm. Yet, no glitches and nothing critical. The only thing that heats up there is XILINX ARTIX-7 XC7A200T FPGA which does the actual job of mixing, effects, etc. Ideally there should be a dedicated DSP there but FPGA allows very quick releases without venturing into designing dedicated chips.
Thanks for this update and review. I was wondering, could you please share with us how long the latency is between switching cameras with the LivePro L2?? I am interested in using this for a multi-cam setup for live action sports such as football, basketball, wrestling, etc., and I am hoping to find out how long the delay is when you switch from input to another? I am hoping that you can tell me its instantaneous or imperceptible. Thanks again for the time and effort put into making these videos. To those of us on the fence are very helpful!
If you set the transition (MIX) option to CUT (and, just to make sure, use XPOSE software and set 0.0s there) and use FAST switching option, the switching is instant, no delay whatsoever. Each input and output has a separate chip on it and that ensures no delays. By the way, L1 (RGBlink mini) and L2 (RGBlink mini+) are different devices. They have identical hardware, but L2/mini+ adds chroma key, custom logo (256x128 px max, BMP) and PTZ camera control. Regardless what RGBlink says, it is possible to put the mini+ firmware into mini/L1, but the software (which is responsible for chroma key and logo) still sees the device as L1 and doesn't allow any extended functionality. PTZ camera control works from the device itself though, but from my point of view this is much less useful thing than chroma key and logo. My friends and I are working on how to make the software think of re-flashed L1 as of a mini+, that includes some reverse engineering.
Curious on the firmware, I've seen a few mentions of have Chroma and Luma in the new version. I just bought one with .46 firmware which seems to be the latest but there is no chroma or Luma that I can see. I still would be able to use this if you could resize the PIP but without those 3 options this doesn't work as I want. I do more VJ and creative type mixing so I was looking for more flexibility. Am I missing something with this one or is it just not the best for my use case?
Thank you for your videos, they're a great help. I purchased my LivePro L1 a few months ago and have been unable to play with it as of yet. I was going to do the firmware update today and I downloaded the files but I keep getting an error that the file is corrupt. I have downloaded it several times and I get the same error. Is there an alternate link for the firmware? Please and thank you.
Hey mate - wanted to say great content and just subbed. Quick question regarding audio fixes if you'd be so kind: Let's say you have three cameras but don't want the audio from any and instead want to use a GOXLR to mix all audio for an OBS/Twitch livestream ... how would one go about setting this up and ensuring that the audio is synced to the video thereby avoiding a Bruce Lee type end result (hey Ninja - the tea parties over!) - this pleb is not understanding that part of things
It would be nice if this switcher had a region of interest setting or a zoom scan converter menu item to resize the input picture. That option would make my canon 70d a viable option for live video streaming because now it would be in full frame video mode
Hey man. Just loooove your reviews. I'm following the upgrade of feelworld pro live 1 (software L2 now, yeah). And I have a question. Is this little one recognized as a capture card by Resolume Arena, just like ATEM mini is? That would be a deal breaker for me, and haven't found anyone testing it like this. Thanks in advance and congrats for a very geeky and detailed channel! Keep up @geeky
@Jenniffer Barbosa. Wait-wait-wait. Did you feed the L1 with the L2 (RGBlink mini+) firmware and it works? Did it get the DSK/logo features? This thing is recognized as a USB webcam (UVC/UAC-compliant, driverless) by any and all software that works with webcams. So I think it should do for you?
Hmm, you say that with the audio coming in via the camera the audio will now be in sync. Well to me watching this video which you say was created with the unit the audio looks slightly out of sync.
In the video, you spoke about the improvement of the audio portions of the new upgrade. I have my L1 hooked into my mixer, it's plugged 3.5 mm into the L1 and 1/4 inch into the mixer. Now with the new improvement, you said something about having a jeweled channel XLR adapter and that can run the 2 mics into the HDMI signal 1. And use that as your main audio source. Do you have a picture of what that looks like?
Actually, what he said was "Dual channel XLR adapter". Not "Jeweled". Crazy Accent! 😅 The Takeaway is: You have to mix your audio at the source since there is no mixing w/in the unit and it is best to use the main camera as the HDMI audio source so that audio & video are in sync.
Good review. Thanks. One question: Have they added the ability to trim the audio via the line input in order to sync with the picture? I use an external mixer so need a way to sync it with the video feeds ( 2 cameras)
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Ok. That's what I thought. Padding down line level signals from my mixer to match the mic sensitivity of the camera is bad news for noise levels. The only switcher that facilitates line level mix is the ATEM MINI as far as I am aware? Best wishes. Bruce
Hey Shane first of all I would like to thank you for all the great work that you put out there... My question is are you able to connect the feelworld life pro l1 to a soundboard to get audio.
The only option is to use the 3.5mm jack but that stops the in-camera audio from being heard so I am tipping the best way is to run everything through a mixer and then into the camera preamps.
I received my L1 a month ago, and it does have the menu option of selecting audio source (embedded, line-in, inputs 1, 2, 3 & 4). I guess this means it allready has the latest firmware done by factory (or is was a second hand item sold as new). But the startup logo says L1, not L2.
Thanks for the great, clear reviews! One question: is there support for keyboard shortcut keys and/or macros to be able to control e.g. transitions or PiP easier via PC interface or even via a Stream Deck?
Not to my knowledge, no. It can be now controlled via the software on the computer which can easily make switching or picture in picture easier to access.
No. The control software (XPOSE) is a bug nest. I am not yet willing to dismantle my L1 (which now enjoys the December 2020 firmware from RGBlink mini) to investigate what kind of central chip is there. Each HDMI port is managed by a dedicated ITE IT6404E chip (that much is visible through vents), but I have no idea what is the actual brain of the thing. If there are other devices based on the same core logic (apart from the L1, L1V1 and RGBlink mini), maybe their control software is better... although I wouldn't raise high hopes about it.
Your presentation is great. I have a question. I have a LIVEPRO L1, I have a Panasonic LUMIX G7, I plan to buy an Elgato HD60S to record video - audio signals from LIVEPRO L1 The Panasonic LUMIX G7 is not compatible with the Elgato HD60S, if used directly. However in my case everything goes through LIVEPRO L1 Can you tell me if this will all work properly? Thanks
Would you get the ATEM Mini, RGBLink Mini or this from Feelworld. I have not done any stream, but I would like to have the option for my clients when they ask about it. I like that the ATEM Mini has the audio function and the fast switching layout, but I think it could have been nice with the multiviewer as the Feelworls and RGBLink has. Also cool with the build in small screen
The ATEM mini gives you a compressor, limiter, and equalizer for each channel plus the 2 mic channels for free via software and it is $5usd cheaper. Does this give any ability to work on the audio chain? Good video, thumbs up on the video 👍👍👍
Hi Peter, this doesn't have the same audio options as the ATEM but it got better with this update. The majority of what crippled it before is fixed. They just need to add a proper audio mixer to it and it'll be really good :).
Your videos are far the best an very clear an understood. Can you help me out I’m having a hard time getting the firmware everything I do it just don’t work. Help. Thank you so much
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Thank you for your reply and videos. Our church is looking at upgrading our video system. Trying to figure out our best solution without spending a ton.
Hope still for the perfect device. I wish it had a second usb host for an external HD with a button to record. Aside from the audio features we all want like ATEM (for eq, compressor/limiter/gate/etc,. mixing and capability of running the stero inputs as double mono instead, etc., there are also some other things I will like to have , like the media player, the chroma up/down link (making capable of running lower thirds also), a second ethernet specifically for streaming, and finally, now that we dream for a great machine, an inside slot for an ssd HD to record raw, as well as SD port to read mediafiles and/or record compressed. Now, that for $300 I would be sold !!!
Now to fit that into the machine within the price may be dreaming too much. Maybe a more real down to Earth would be that has a connector for an attachment sold separately with the features listed. something like an "add-on"....
@@mephiherrera5440 not that much. This unit uses XILINX ARTIX-7 (XC7A200T) FPGA to manage video mixing and STmicroelectronics STM 32F207 ARM Cortex-M3 SoC to control overall operation. For the right person it won't be too much of a task to write a custom firmware with audio options, advanced keying (RGBlink mini+ has chroma key functionality and its hardware is identical to the point of firmware compatibility; RGBlink is the OEM of this thing). One ethernet port is more than enough for streaming and control (control doesn't use bandwidth at all). SD slots, second USB and HDD slot are beyond reality in this case though. There are some unused connections on the main board but I don't think they can be used to add more external interfaces.
Let’s say I have the unit set to a slow fade transition on the T-bar. If pull the T-bar to the center, will the 2 sources both continue to output but just with an overlay effect?
How does it work if you run your audio through a soundboard to have a balanced mix, and then into a computer, and then to your live Facebook stream? Is this unit good as a switcher for that purpose?
It always did, but you need to run it out over USB to OBS or via any HDMI encoder. I am recording this using OBS, if I had of clicked stream, it would have gone live. :)
@@GeekyNerdyTechy but it doesn't do stream encoding and such in the hardware, it has to use a computer and can't stream directly to the internet, of i understand correctly? Seems like a big benefit with the Atem Mini Pro (~twice the price though).
@@Robinlarsson83 It doesn't stream on its own. At that, given its hardware, I don't think it is entirely impossible to add this functionality if you can find someone who are willing to write a custom firmware for it. The video switching and all that is handled by an FPGA, XILINX ARTIX-7 XC7A200T (which is the only thing that heats up there apart from the LCD assembly), and the “CPU” is STmicroelectronics STM 32F207, which is an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU SoC.
It's the HDMI feed being recorded through a ElgatoHD60 into OBS which is going to add a little more lag to the process. It was the only way I could record it at the time.
Aren't these DE V & H settings for adjusting aspect ratios on split screen settings you suggested to throw away? And/or for reversing the picture when for instance you can only mount the camera "upside down" relative to the object you are filming but still you want it to be viewed in right orientation? If you are reviewing it maybe you could check, what does it do to the output picture?
Ah! Thanks for the heads up. They didn't give me detailed info on this, nor of the firmware at all so I worked it out myself. I'll test this next time, thanks again :)
Isn't L2 the name of another device that they are about to launch? This is exactly the same as RGBLink mini and RGBLink mini +. In the software described by you, the FX tab is missing, which in L2 is responsible for chroma key, PTZ camera control and Logo overlay.
@@michamelerowski2002 I did and I succeeded... almost. While the device accepts the firmware (they are identical in hardware), and I have new menu entries from the mini+, XPOSE still sees it as Feelworld L1. I think that the device name is hidden in the boot loader and the software uses it to unlock the FX tab with chroma key and logo. PTZ is available via the menu (left button, 4th option). I also added the power on/off switch myself (some dremeling and a little soldering plus the most basic rocker/clicker button). For the moment RGBlink pulled the mini and mini+ firmware off their website but I hope they will get it back. I have the files though.
Hello, I want to purchase the Feelworld L1 V1 video switcher. But I would like to know if I connect the switcher to a camera located 50meter, will I have problem with the device?
Thank you for the videos. Any chance if you know if you can get a signal from the USB port to be another hdmi? Like trying to connect a usb 3.0 to hdmi adapter. I want to record the clean signal and not use a computer. I’m thinking a hdmi recording device (like a atomos) from the usb port then use the hdmi output (the only one showing on the back of the unitfor previewing all the cameras etc
No, you don't, although you can have it either way. This thing doesn't need anything, not even drivers, to show what's fed into it over USB 3.0 on almost any OS, but you can have multiview on a PC and program out on HDMI via a capture card, although not sure why would you need that kind of setup. Technically you can do with just plugging it into USB and assigning PGM to USB to stream while keeping an eye on other sources using the built-in 2" screen, but that screen, while no doubt useful, gives you just a vague hint on what happens on four inputs. If you want to do any more or less advanced mixing, like using the PIP function, it is really wise to have a display plugged into HDMI out. It can be absolutely anything that has an HDMI input. Also, you can change between PVW and PGM on either output (USB/HDMI) at any given moment seamlessly or almost so.
Hi Geeky Nerdy Tech, I am starting with video live cooking workshops with one microphone and 3 camera's (wide, close up and zoom at workings pace). Someone else is controlling the video mixer. Do you think this is a good device to buy and work with Zoom online live? Kind regards Berry
Yep, it will work fine as long as you are happy only having audio from one camera being used. You can't mix audio from multiple HDMI sources. This is a good unit for quick switching. I have used this on my channel to save time in editing :)
There's no Chroma Key on this unit yet. Check out my full review if you have more general questions but it's made for OBS or to be used in a similar way as a webcam for plug and play functionality. :)
There is an elusive Livepro L2 a.k.a. less elusive RGBlink mini+ that has chromakey. RGBlink mini and Livepro L1 are the same device, firmware cross-compatible (RGBlink does updates faster), but I am not sure if it is possible and not destructive to try and feed RGBlink mini+ firmware into the original L1. I did update the L1 with the recent mini firmware and it works like charm (see my slightly earlier dedicated comment somewhere under this video), but I don't think that it is safe to try and push the things any further. There may be hardware differences I am not sure of.
Hi Shane, can you share capture quality if we connect one hdmi to pc type c displaying PowerPoint. Currently I use Elgato plus hdmi seamless switcher on Zoom to have bigger and better presentation without using share screen.Thx for your reply
Hi Shane, thx for replying my question. I bought one unit LivePro. But not happy with the quality of capturing PowerPoint presentation from my laptop and Android tablet using hdmi-type C cable. I connect one port to Sony ZV-1 and another port to laptop or tablet, leaving two hdmi vacant. I use T-bar handle to switch between camera and laptop output. So I don’t need to use share screen in Zoom. I am happy with alternative solution using Elgato hdmi stick with seamless hdmi switcher. Capture quality for PowerPoint presentation clearer. It seems most of multi port capture cards work better with camera input. Not with laptop or tablet as an input. Hope you can share better alternative.
@@budihikmat8426 You have to adjust your display settings on your presentation laptop so that it outputs 1920×1080/60Hz (which will be 1920×1080@60 for the mixer). That should do.
What is the bottom-line minimum requirement for laptop computer I'm not talking about the windows although Windows 10 vs Windows home or their problems there but my biggest question is about the video card what is the minimum requirement to use or have a compatibility with the live pro L1 thank you
You need a computer that's capable of handling something like a 1080p webcam. This connects to the computer a "webcam" of sorts. Make sure you have an i5 or AMD that's a similar spec. This did work on an old FX8350 CPU with an old video card. It doesn't require the highest spec pc as it's MJPEG to the computer.
My laptop (ROG Asus) does not have an ethernet outlet. Do I plug the LivePro L1 directly into my router for the Upgrade or will that blow everything up? Then download from the site wirelessly to my computer? I am a newbie at this.
Seems I might answer myself. I figured companies make adapters for everything these days. So I looked to see if there was an adapter for a usb 3 to ethernet and indeed there was. Ordered one. Now I will see if it works...when it gets here.
Yes, you can connect your computer wirelessly to your computer network. The upgrade works via the Network connection. The easiest way to connect the LivePro L1 to your network is to set the IP Settings on LivePro to DHCP, connect to network, then get the IP address from the Info Page of the LivePro
Hey Shane I am having problems connecting the software for the live for with the actual unit can you tell me something that I need to do and what is the process of downloading and getting it connected need your help please and if anyone else on this thread can help me by all means do so
Find the IP of the unit from the on screen display then connect the software to it using the IP that you see from the LivePro. Make sure it's connected to the network and the update is also done from the network on another computer. The links to the software is in the description.
You can record on a computer via USB or HDMI out with OBS or some other capture program at the same time as streaming but it doesn't allow you to record directly out of the unit.
It gets warm but no worse than the ATEM mini or the other switchers. I had it on for 6 hours the other day and it was all good. I was using it on a glass table though. Which area was the hottest or was the whole thing hot?
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Thanks for replying. Wanted to check before posting my review of the unit. The bottom gets very hot and then bubbled my top. Great videos BTW
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert There is an FPGA chip, XILINX ARTIX-7 XC7A200T (it manages video switching and effects) on the bottom covered with a copper plate. This is the only part of the device that heats up.
You do. A computer using OBS can work with this without any problems. See my original review for more info. I also released a video of the latest version of this switcher as well.
I just followed your instruction, but I constantly failed downloading. Am I supposed to write 192.168.0.99 for IP Settings in Connection Settings? I will really appreciate your answer.
Once you find the IP on the unit you will need to key in that IP address into the firmware update software so it can find it on the network. You need to do that via a computer that is running the firmware update software
I didn't see anything in the software to off-sync it so not yet. I have a feeling it'll happen at some point as it's a requirement for external audio sources.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy How are you getting sound to the feelworld with the XLR adapter? Do you have the XLR adapter going to the camera via a 3.5mm cable, then HDMI to the Feelworld?
@@beechgrovebaptistchurch-we2560 Not sure about Shane but I have a camcorder with built-in XLR inputs and feed its audio via the HDMI port that camera is plugged into. You just have to select this specific port in Audio options in the device menu.
No difference other than the top housing. RGBlink is the OEM for Feelworld. The Feelworld L1 main board actually has RGBlink logo. L1 is RGBlink miini, L2 is RGBlink mini+, they are identical in hardware and firmwares are cross-compatible. The only thing that prevents turning L1/mini into mini+ is XPOSE software.
Here's a firmware update video for the Feelworld LivePro L1. This firmware is now released and was easy to update. Thanks for watching!

A lot of people are having problems updating the firmware, due to the inability to get their computer to talk with the LivePro via their computer network. The easiest solution is to get someone with some basic networking knowledge to help.
Otherwise, some hints
1) Use a network cable to connect your LivePro to the same router used by your computer (computer can be either wired or wireless)

Thank you for link, bro!
Important news.
There is a similar device called RGBlink mini - and it is the original thing, Feelworld ordered the manufacturing from RGBlink. And you know what - it is firmware-compatible. So, essentially the same except the top housing panel design and price difference (RGBlink is a bit more expensive and isn't sold on Aliexpress - but is available from reputable sellers like B&H and Adorama in the USA, and Thomann in Europe).
RGBlink are slightly more responsible about their firmware updates, so just now I did an experiment of feeding the RGBlink's mid-December 2020 firmware to L1. And you know? It totally works. My device still thinks it is a Feelworld Livepro L1, retains its original splash screen and serial number, but the actual firmware is new (1.19/1.03 instead of my original 1.17/0.40) - like, some terminology changes in menus (“EMBEDDED” in audio is now called “AFV”) and new PIP functionality added, you can now switch PIP image independently of the main one (there is an A/B option in PIP menu).
I did not check the analog audio sync since I need only a non-following HDMI audio.
RGBlink's XPOSE and XTOOL desktop/smartphone software are also fully compatible. So I'm completely sure that it is some badge engineering with price reduction on the Feelworld's part.
Also, RGBlink has a mini+ device - which Feelworld dubs Livepro L2. The differences are that: 1) the Feelworld's L2 is mentioned only in their paper instruction manual and is absent on their websites and on Aliexpress, while mini+ is there at least on the manufacturer's website; 2) mini+/L2 has the DSK (keying) and logo embedding functions that mini/L1 lack. So it made me think: what if the difference is purely in the badge and the firmware, and hardware is completely similar? In the end I decided to flash my L1 with a mini+ firmware - and bingo, it works! At that, my device still retained its name and serial number, and the XPOSE software still does not allow doing keying and logo uploading. Moreover, RGBlink pulled their mini and mini+ firmware files off both their English and Chinese websites (at least for the time being), but I still have the files.
I am now also pondering on how to circumvent that limitation, so I tasked some of my programming-savvy friends with reverse-engineering the mini+ firmware and, possibly, the XPOSE executable and five DLLs that are of consequence. The only thing that needs to be done is renaming the device - which, oddly enough, does not come with updating its firmware. Not sure of the outcome because it isn't a paid job on their part, but if there are any updates I'll post them here.
Also, the mixer has a Keil web server at port 80 but it is not configured and thus useless. Probably it was a stock part of the main chip SDK, or maybe some provisional thing for the future firmware releases
Greetings from Moscow, Russia.
Excellent
Your comment is really interesting. Thank you. I have both units and I wanted to compare. You answered the question. Thank you.
Sir, you seem to be the one best to answer some of my questions so I think I've got it boiled down to about 1 you do your homework and that's impressive and I'm not really a tech guy I'm a Creator I like writing stories and doing stuff like that producing but but I'm really stumped so here's my question
Very helpful review. Definitely better. I'm still returning my LivePro L1. I want an easy one-click way to do PIP (on and off) as well as an audio delay for syncing. I'm going to buck up and spend for the with the Roland VR1-HD (actually just received it but haven't set it up yet). I have an ATEM mini on the way also. One will end up going back. The Yolo box looks pretty cool also.
The ATEM will be the item for that sort of work for sure. Audio delay is only handy for the realtime analog audio inputs. you won't use it if the audio is going via the camera.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Hello, I want to purchase the Feelworld L1 V1 video switcher. But I would like to know if I connect the switcher to a camera located 50meter, will I have problem with the video quality?
can you please go more in depth with how you did firmware set up. Step-by-step would help and showing exactly how your doing it. I've watched your video and the Feelworld official one and I still can't get my unit to connect to do the update.
Yeah this update process is crap.
Thank you for the helpful video, I just had mine and will do the update soon
Could you please tell me where you set up the IP change and which iP is the one you input on TC/IP settings in order to work
Thanks for the review, I ordered the L1, and I also own the Yolobox. The L1 won't be here for a few weeks but was hoping you would do a video on using the two devices together as more of a wireless solution... Thank you I really enjoy your reviews!!
Hi Randy. The LivePro is a wired device though. Did you mean daisy-chaining them together with a HDMI send?
Great Video! Thx! :)
Best Regards, Simon
just because you don't know what purpose a feature serves doesn't mean they should be deleted. the split screen effects are meant so you unstrech the image on a sofware and have the ability to get 2 video inputs via usb. obviously you lose some resolution doing that but it works for what it was meant to do.
Hi mate, brilliant video, could you please be more precise with the setting of the IP Address, do you copy the ip[ address of the computer and put it into the Livepro or do you put the ip address of the Livepro and put it in the computer network settings, myself and a lot of other Livepro users are struggling with this, thanks in advance mate and keep up the good work.
Just hook it up to your switch with an ethernet cable and odds are the unit will assign its own IP on your network. You can find the IP easily by using the menu dial. :)
Either way, but it is better to set the Livepro/RGBlink mini to DHCP and look up what address it has got in your router settings.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Really appreciate your videos and time, but can you possibly clarify this a bit more? I'm still just as confused as the poster...
@@AGS-8785-D1R See my post in this page today
Sir, how about the temperature because it doesn't have heatsink or fan. Is it hot or not?
It gets warm but no worse than the ATEM mini. I had this unit on for about 6 hours the day I filmed this and it was fine :)
Rather warm. Like handwarming-warm. Yet, no glitches and nothing critical. The only thing that heats up there is XILINX ARTIX-7 XC7A200T FPGA which does the actual job of mixing, effects, etc. Ideally there should be a dedicated DSP there but FPGA allows very quick releases without venturing into designing dedicated chips.
Once you have the I.P. address for the Livepro L1, where do you enter it to enable communication with a computer?
Good product, I wish could add zoom/crop option/feature on each hdmi input
Please upload a video on how to do cable connections to connect L1 to a laptop or pc. Thanks..
Thanks for this update and review. I was wondering, could you please share with us how long the latency is between switching cameras with the LivePro L2?? I am interested in using this for a multi-cam setup for live action sports such as football, basketball, wrestling, etc., and I am hoping to find out how long the delay is when you switch from input to another? I am hoping that you can tell me its instantaneous or imperceptible. Thanks again for the time and effort put into making these videos. To those of us on the fence are very helpful!
anything?
Still Curious....
If you set the transition (MIX) option to CUT (and, just to make sure, use XPOSE software and set 0.0s there) and use FAST switching option, the switching is instant, no delay whatsoever. Each input and output has a separate chip on it and that ensures no delays.
By the way, L1 (RGBlink mini) and L2 (RGBlink mini+) are different devices. They have identical hardware, but L2/mini+ adds chroma key, custom logo (256x128 px max, BMP) and PTZ camera control. Regardless what RGBlink says, it is possible to put the mini+ firmware into mini/L1, but the software (which is responsible for chroma key and logo) still sees the device as L1 and doesn't allow any extended functionality. PTZ camera control works from the device itself though, but from my point of view this is much less useful thing than chroma key and logo. My friends and I are working on how to make the software think of re-flashed L1 as of a mini+, that includes some reverse engineering.
Curious on the firmware, I've seen a few mentions of have Chroma and Luma in the new version. I just bought one with .46 firmware which seems to be the latest but there is no chroma or Luma that I can see. I still would be able to use this if you could resize the PIP but without those 3 options this doesn't work as I want. I do more VJ and creative type mixing so I was looking for more flexibility. Am I missing something with this one or is it just not the best for my use case?
thank you man
P
Please i connect my Logitech brio camera and I don
See then in my unit coul you help me
Thank you for your videos, they're a great help.
I purchased my LivePro L1 a few months ago and have been unable to play with it as of yet. I was going to do the firmware update today and I downloaded the files but I keep getting an error that the file is corrupt. I have downloaded it several times and I get the same error. Is there an alternate link for the firmware? Please and thank you.
Region of interest option would be great also in the next update.
Hey , Great content m8
Quick question please .... Does this update make it possible to control a PTZ camera like the mini plus ?
Much appreciated ...
Hey mate - wanted to say great content and just subbed. Quick question regarding audio fixes if you'd be so kind: Let's say you have three cameras but don't want the audio from any and instead want to use a GOXLR to mix all audio for an OBS/Twitch livestream ... how would one go about setting this up and ensuring that the audio is synced to the video thereby avoiding a Bruce Lee type end result (hey Ninja - the tea parties over!) - this pleb is not understanding that part of things
If you use a totally separate audio source connected to your computer and selected there, there should not be any sync issues.
I was just about sold on this over the atem mini until you said the line in would not be in sync with the video.. is this really that bad?
It would be nice if this switcher had a region of interest setting or a zoom scan converter menu item to resize the input picture. That option would make my canon 70d a viable option for live video streaming because now it would be in full frame video mode
Hey man. Just loooove your reviews. I'm following the upgrade of feelworld pro live 1 (software L2 now, yeah). And I have a question. Is this little one recognized as a capture card by Resolume Arena, just like ATEM mini is? That would be a deal breaker for me, and haven't found anyone testing it like this.
Thanks in advance and congrats for a very geeky and detailed channel! Keep up @geeky
I haven't heard of that before sorry. This will work as a webcam via the USB connector or via the HDMI out into a HDMI capture card.
@Jenniffer Barbosa. Wait-wait-wait. Did you feed the L1 with the L2 (RGBlink mini+) firmware and it works? Did it get the DSK/logo features?
This thing is recognized as a USB webcam (UVC/UAC-compliant, driverless) by any and all software that works with webcams. So I think it should do for you?
Great video¡¡ this product works on iphone?
Hmm, you say that with the audio coming in via the camera the audio will now be in sync. Well to me watching this video which you say was created with the unit the audio looks slightly out of sync.
great review
Please @feelword put the audiomixer. Or allow activate more than 1 hdmi audio input
In the video, you spoke about the improvement of the audio portions of the new upgrade. I have my L1 hooked into my mixer, it's plugged 3.5 mm into the L1 and 1/4 inch into the mixer. Now with the new improvement, you said something about having a jeweled channel XLR adapter and that can run the 2 mics into the HDMI signal 1. And use that as your main audio source. Do you have a picture of what that looks like?
Actually, what he said was "Dual channel XLR adapter". Not "Jeweled".
Crazy Accent! 😅
The Takeaway is: You have to mix your audio at the source since there is no mixing w/in the unit and it is best to use the main camera as the HDMI audio source so that audio & video are in sync.
Good review. Thanks. One question: Have they added the ability to trim the audio via the line input in order to sync with the picture?
I use an external mixer so need a way to sync it with the video feeds ( 2 cameras)
The easiest way is to still send the audio through a camera, yep! The 3.5mm jack will be out of sync.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Ok. That's what I thought. Padding down line level signals from my mixer to match the mic sensitivity of the camera is bad news for noise levels. The only switcher that facilitates line level mix is the ATEM MINI as far as I am aware? Best wishes. Bruce
Hey Shane first of all I would like to thank you for all the great work that you put out there... My question is are you able to connect the feelworld life pro l1 to a soundboard to get audio.
The only option is to use the 3.5mm jack but that stops the in-camera audio from being heard so I am tipping the best way is to run everything through a mixer and then into the camera preamps.
Maybe find a mixer with an HDMI out? Plug it in as one of the inputs and just take the audio?
@@gringofett3944 There are no audio mixers that output audio over HDMI. Also, doing it via a camera is actually the most convenient way.
I received my L1 a month ago, and it does have the menu option of selecting audio source (embedded, line-in, inputs 1, 2, 3 & 4).
I guess this means it allready has the latest firmware done by factory (or is was a second hand item sold as new).
But the startup logo says L1, not L2.
Same and no "fx" options
i spent a whole day to find a clue on doing chroma key / greenscreen overlay using this unit. can you help me to point somewhere ??
Thanks for the great, clear reviews! One question: is there support for keyboard shortcut keys and/or macros to be able to control e.g. transitions or PiP easier via PC interface or even via a Stream Deck?
Not to my knowledge, no. It can be now controlled via the software on the computer which can easily make switching or picture in picture easier to access.
No. The control software (XPOSE) is a bug nest. I am not yet willing to dismantle my L1 (which now enjoys the December 2020 firmware from RGBlink mini) to investigate what kind of central chip is there. Each HDMI port is managed by a dedicated ITE IT6404E chip (that much is visible through vents), but I have no idea what is the actual brain of the thing. If there are other devices based on the same core logic (apart from the L1, L1V1 and RGBlink mini), maybe their control software is better... although I wouldn't raise high hopes about it.
Your presentation is great.
I have a question.
I have a LIVEPRO L1, I have a Panasonic LUMIX G7, I plan to buy an Elgato HD60S to record video - audio signals from LIVEPRO L1
The Panasonic LUMIX G7 is not compatible with the Elgato HD60S, if used directly. However in my case everything goes through LIVEPRO L1
Can you tell me if this will all work properly? Thanks
Would you get the ATEM Mini, RGBLink Mini or this from Feelworld.
I have not done any stream, but I would like to have the option for my clients when they ask about it. I like that the ATEM Mini has the audio function and the fast switching layout, but I think it could have been nice with the multiviewer as the Feelworls and RGBLink has. Also cool with the build in small screen
The ATEM mini gives you a compressor, limiter, and equalizer for each channel plus the 2 mic channels for free via software and it is $5usd cheaper. Does this give any ability to work on the audio chain? Good video, thumbs up on the video 👍👍👍
Hi Peter, this doesn't have the same audio options as the ATEM but it got better with this update. The majority of what crippled it before is fixed. They just need to add a proper audio mixer to it and it'll be really good :).
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Which do you recommend? The ATEM or this one?
Ca you stream all 4 camera angles on the screen at the same time. 4 screen box
Your videos are far the best an very clear an understood. Can you help me out I’m having a hard time getting the firmware everything I do it just don’t work. Help. Thank you so much
Nice channel!
My Mac sad that they only allow to open the software download in Appstore!
Thank you for making this video. I cannot find the .bin file. where can I download it?
Thanks for the update. Does this mixer do chroma/luma keying? I enjoy your videos.
Hi, Raymond. Not yet no. The RGBlink Mini+ supports it but as of right now there's nothing officially supported with this.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Thank you for your reply and videos. Our church is looking at upgrading our video system. Trying to figure out our best solution without spending a ton.
What sync offset settings do you think I should enter in OBS to sync my OBS audio with the switcher?
Hope still for the perfect device. I wish it had a second usb host for an external HD with a button to record. Aside from the audio features we all want like ATEM (for eq, compressor/limiter/gate/etc,. mixing and capability of running the stero inputs as double mono instead, etc., there are also some other things I will like to have , like the media player, the chroma up/down link (making capable of running lower thirds also), a second ethernet specifically for streaming, and finally, now that we dream for a great machine, an inside slot for an ssd HD to record raw, as well as SD port to read mediafiles and/or record compressed. Now, that for $300 I would be sold !!!
Now to fit that into the machine within the price may be dreaming too much. Maybe a more real down to Earth would be that has a connector for an attachment sold separately with the features listed. something like an "add-on"....
@@mephiherrera5440 not that much. This unit uses XILINX ARTIX-7 (XC7A200T) FPGA to manage video mixing and STmicroelectronics STM 32F207 ARM Cortex-M3 SoC to control overall operation. For the right person it won't be too much of a task to write a custom firmware with audio options, advanced keying (RGBlink mini+ has chroma key functionality and its hardware is identical to the point of firmware compatibility; RGBlink is the OEM of this thing). One ethernet port is more than enough for streaming and control (control doesn't use bandwidth at all). SD slots, second USB and HDD slot are beyond reality in this case though. There are some unused connections on the main board but I don't think they can be used to add more external interfaces.
As this seems to be the same as the rgblink mini, did the rgblink also get the upgrade?
Let’s say I have the unit set to a slow fade transition on the T-bar. If pull the T-bar to the center, will the 2 sources both continue to output but just with an overlay effect?
Very helpful review. could you please give me one info, if it works with grandvj? thanks in advance.
How does it work if you run your audio through a soundboard to have a balanced mix, and then into a computer, and then to your live Facebook stream? Is this unit good as a switcher for that purpose?
I'm guessing this would fix the mixing issue but you still have to handle the sync issue.
Am I correct? 🤓❓
Thanks for the update. Does it do live streaming now?
It always did, but you need to run it out over USB to OBS or via any HDMI encoder. I am recording this using OBS, if I had of clicked stream, it would have gone live. :)
@@GeekyNerdyTechy but it doesn't do stream encoding and such in the hardware, it has to use a computer and can't stream directly to the internet, of i understand correctly?
Seems like a big benefit with the Atem Mini Pro (~twice the price though).
@@Robinlarsson83 It doesn't stream on its own. At that, given its hardware, I don't think it is entirely impossible to add this functionality if you can find someone who are willing to write a custom firmware for it. The video switching and all that is handled by an FPGA, XILINX ARTIX-7 XC7A200T (which is the only thing that heats up there apart from the LCD assembly), and the “CPU” is STmicroelectronics STM 32F207, which is an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU SoC.
Is that screen in the back connected to the HDMI-output? Wow, that's LOT's of delay :O
It's the HDMI feed being recorded through a ElgatoHD60 into OBS which is going to add a little more lag to the process. It was the only way I could record it at the time.
Aren't these DE V & H settings for adjusting aspect ratios on split screen settings you suggested to throw away? And/or for reversing the picture when for instance you can only mount the camera "upside down" relative to the object you are filming but still you want it to be viewed in right orientation? If you are reviewing it maybe you could check, what does it do to the output picture?
Ah! Thanks for the heads up. They didn't give me detailed info on this, nor of the firmware at all so I worked it out myself. I'll test this next time, thanks again :)
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Can we count on update or at least feedback through comment?
Glad that I didn't get rid of mine 😂
Isn't L2 the name of another device that they are about to launch? This is exactly the same as RGBLink mini and RGBLink mini +. In the software described by you, the FX tab is missing, which in L2 is responsible for chroma key, PTZ camera control and Logo overlay.
Did you try feeding the L1/mini with the RGBlink mini+ firmware?
@@IgnatSolovey I didn't.
@@michamelerowski2002 I did and I succeeded... almost. While the device accepts the firmware (they are identical in hardware), and I have new menu entries from the mini+, XPOSE still sees it as Feelworld L1. I think that the device name is hidden in the boot loader and the software uses it to unlock the FX tab with chroma key and logo. PTZ is available via the menu (left button, 4th option). I also added the power on/off switch myself (some dremeling and a little soldering plus the most basic rocker/clicker button). For the moment RGBlink pulled the mini and mini+ firmware off their website but I hope they will get it back. I have the files though.
@@IgnatSolovey Can you be so kind as to share the firmware that has PTZ? I want to try it out. Thanks in advance
Can you edit pre made videos as they play to make a new video? Or is this just for real time camerawork only?
You can cue up a video on a laptop then play it back through a HDMI input absolutely :)
Hello, I want to purchase the Feelworld L1 V1 video switcher. But I would like to know if I connect the switcher to a camera located 50meter, will I have problem with the device?
I've replied to this on another one of your comments.
maybe test it with a mixer like Rodecaster? should be interesting
Hii, to see ur own mac screen, did u use hdmi cable this time also to connect ur mac to livepro L1 or u made it through another way? Thanks
you just connect the mac to the livepro using hdmi, yes. Its basically a 4 input, 1 output capture card/switcher
Thank you for the videos. Any chance if you know if you can get a signal from the USB port to be another hdmi? Like trying to connect a usb 3.0 to hdmi adapter. I want to record the clean signal and not use a computer. I’m thinking a hdmi recording device (like a atomos) from the usb port then use the hdmi output (the only one showing on the back of the unitfor previewing all the cameras etc
No, you can't. You can record with OBS directly in your PC/Mac and stream simultaneously.
Hi Shane. Do I need a streaming capture card with this? Like the elgato cam link?
No, you don't, although you can have it either way. This thing doesn't need anything, not even drivers, to show what's fed into it over USB 3.0 on almost any OS, but you can have multiview on a PC and program out on HDMI via a capture card, although not sure why would you need that kind of setup. Technically you can do with just plugging it into USB and assigning PGM to USB to stream while keeping an eye on other sources using the built-in 2" screen, but that screen, while no doubt useful, gives you just a vague hint on what happens on four inputs. If you want to do any more or less advanced mixing, like using the PIP function, it is really wise to have a display plugged into HDMI out. It can be absolutely anything that has an HDMI input. Also, you can change between PVW and PGM on either output (USB/HDMI) at any given moment seamlessly or almost so.
Is the audio input on this stereo or mono?
I received my new LivePro L1 switcher but cannot get software loaded into my computer.

Hi Geeky Nerdy Tech, I am starting with video live cooking workshops with one microphone and 3 camera's (wide, close up and zoom at workings pace).
Someone else is controlling the video mixer.
Do you think this is a good device to buy and work with Zoom online live?
Kind regards Berry
Yep, it will work fine as long as you are happy only having audio from one camera being used. You can't mix audio from multiple HDMI sources. This is a good unit for quick switching. I have used this on my channel to save time in editing :)
Hi. Can I connect a Zoom Livetrack L8 to LivePro L1 via its input?
How about chroma key options? And how do you setup live streaming with it, Or do you go through obs?
There's no Chroma Key on this unit yet. Check out my full review if you have more general questions but it's made for OBS or to be used in a similar way as a webcam for plug and play functionality. :)
There is an elusive Livepro L2 a.k.a. less elusive RGBlink mini+ that has chromakey. RGBlink mini and Livepro L1 are the same device, firmware cross-compatible (RGBlink does updates faster), but I am not sure if it is possible and not destructive to try and feed RGBlink mini+ firmware into the original L1. I did update the L1 with the recent mini firmware and it works like charm (see my slightly earlier dedicated comment somewhere under this video), but I don't think that it is safe to try and push the things any further. There may be hardware differences I am not sure of.
Can you customise the PIP location and size other than what the presets allow?
Can I ask what if I use rode wireless go 2 for 2 talents in the live stream, how do I set up for the audio ?
can you share with us if the unit can be used with hotkeys in the app? to switch between sources, since it can be switched with a pc
The name of the co. is Feelworld? I wonder how that got there during the naming conference. :-)
Yeah it's not the coolest name in town but they are making some great stuff. haha.
If you haven't heard of Feelworld, they also make external camera monitors.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy I'll check out their stuff. I feel it might make a world of difference. ahem...
Do I need a capture card if I'm using the Switcher?

does it have zoom in and zoom out transition?
Yes, it does. Actually it has much more transitions than it is useful in practical life ;)
Hello, I checked the site bit the download link for the version 2 isn't there. Meanwhile the version on mine is V1.17. Are they the same?
Found the same issue.. Did v2 get pulled?
Hi Shane, can you share capture quality if we connect one hdmi to pc type c displaying PowerPoint. Currently I use Elgato plus hdmi seamless switcher on Zoom to have bigger and better presentation without using share screen.Thx for your reply
Are you asking to see a captured video as a video? I actually did that already. I am not 100% sure what you are asking sorry.
Hi Shane, thx for replying my question. I bought one unit LivePro. But not happy with the quality of capturing PowerPoint presentation from my laptop and Android tablet using hdmi-type C cable. I connect one port to Sony ZV-1 and another port to laptop or tablet, leaving two hdmi vacant. I use T-bar handle to switch between camera and laptop output. So I don’t need to use share screen in Zoom.
I am happy with alternative solution using Elgato hdmi stick with seamless hdmi switcher. Capture quality for PowerPoint presentation clearer. It seems most of multi port capture cards work better with camera input. Not with laptop or tablet as an input. Hope you can share better alternative.
@@budihikmat8426 You have to adjust your display settings on your presentation laptop so that it outputs 1920×1080/60Hz (which will be 1920×1080@60 for the mixer). That should do.

trying to get one.... look nice...
What is the bottom-line minimum requirement for laptop computer I'm not talking about the windows although Windows 10 vs Windows home or their problems there but my biggest question is about the video card what is the minimum requirement to use or have a compatibility with the live pro L1 thank you
You need a computer that's capable of handling something like a 1080p webcam. This connects to the computer a "webcam" of sorts. Make sure you have an i5 or AMD that's a similar spec. This did work on an old FX8350 CPU with an old video card. It doesn't require the highest spec pc as it's MJPEG to the computer.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy right, thanks Ill send you what I discover thank you
If I don't have this on a network, and don't have a router, how would I update the firmware?
Plug it into your computer's ethernet port directly with a patch cord and set up IP addresses manually. Should work.
@@IgnatSolovey yes, that works
How does it communicate with your computer?
Can you convert the USB out to HDMI out with a converter?
My laptop (ROG Asus) does not have an ethernet outlet. Do I plug the LivePro L1 directly into my router for the Upgrade or will that blow everything up? Then download from the site wirelessly to my computer? I am a newbie at this.
Seems I might answer myself. I figured companies make adapters for everything these days. So I looked to see if there was an adapter for a usb 3 to ethernet and indeed there was. Ordered one. Now I will see if it works...when it gets here.
Geeky Nerdy Techy . . . Great Videos by the way! You just get to it. Thanks.
Yes, you can connect your computer wirelessly to your computer network. The upgrade works via the Network connection. The easiest way to connect the LivePro L1 to your network is to set the IP Settings on LivePro to DHCP, connect to network, then get the IP address from the Info Page of the LivePro
Can you record all for cameras separately for further editing later like the atem iso ?
Only internally within the cameras. This doesn't record.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy ok thanks
Hey Shane I am having problems connecting the software for the live for with the actual unit can you tell me something that I need to do and what is the process of downloading and getting it connected need your help please and if anyone else on this thread can help me by all means do so
Find the IP of the unit from the on screen display then connect the software to it using the IP that you see from the LivePro. Make sure it's connected to the network and the update is also done from the network on another computer. The links to the software is in the description.
Hi! Does it support android app control? Thanks!
Brother can we just add images or any live slides in the software or the switcher for switching
Edit: thanks in advance
The easiest way would be to have them in a slideshow on a computer (full screen) and then use a HDMI input.
Is the anyway to rig an external hard drive on to it for recording?
You can record on a computer via USB or HDMI out with OBS or some other capture program at the same time as streaming but it doesn't allow you to record directly out of the unit.
how to make lower third sir and display to GPM thanks
Does yours get ridiculously hot? mine has bubbled my plastic desktop.
It gets warm but no worse than the ATEM mini or the other switchers. I had it on for 6 hours the other day and it was all good. I was using it on a glass table though. Which area was the hottest or was the whole thing hot?
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Thanks for replying. Wanted to check before posting my review of the unit. The bottom gets very hot and then bubbled my top. Great videos BTW
@@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert There is an FPGA chip, XILINX ARTIX-7 XC7A200T (it manages video switching and effects) on the bottom covered with a copper plate. This is the only part of the device that heats up.
@@IgnatSolovey thanks well if you check out my review you’ll see that mine got so hot I had to stand it on some metal to protect my desk.
Do you need a separate encoder to stream to the web?
You do. A computer using OBS can work with this without any problems. See my original review for more info. I also released a video of the latest version of this switcher as well.
can you live stream with all the platforms. Facebook, zoom stream yard etc?
Yes it works like a webcam does. You select it as your device and you’re good to go.
I just followed your instruction, but I constantly failed downloading. Am I supposed to write 192.168.0.99 for IP Settings in Connection Settings? I will really appreciate your answer.
Once you find the IP on the unit you will need to key in that IP address into the firmware update software so it can find it on the network. You need to do that via a computer that is running the firmware update software
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Thank you so much for your advice. Also I appreciate your wonderful reviews all the time.
Did they fix the audio sync issues when using the external audio option?
I didn't see anything in the software to off-sync it so not yet. I have a feeling it'll happen at some point as it's a requirement for external audio sources.
@@GeekyNerdyTechy How are you getting sound to the feelworld with the XLR adapter? Do you have the XLR adapter going to the camera via a 3.5mm cable, then HDMI to the Feelworld?
@@beechgrovebaptistchurch-we2560 Not sure about Shane but I have a camcorder with built-in XLR inputs and feed its audio via the HDMI port that camera is plugged into. You just have to select this specific port in Audio options in the device menu.
They still do not offer audio delay adjustment?
Not for the 3.5mm jack that I could find but there were no release notes I could find so I had to work out myself.
Hi - has the audio sync using external feed been fixed?
What I mean is ATEM allows millisecond delay adjustments - does the L1 do this?
Not from the analog input but the audio from an HDMI source can now be set without any issues.
@@FukYoo-xu7wh You can offset audio in OBS if you use it but the unit doesn't do it internally yet.
What is the difference between FEELWORLD LIVEPRO L1 and RGBLink Mini ,Thanks
I don't know that device sorry. This is the only one I have tried.
No difference other than the top housing. RGBlink is the OEM for Feelworld. The Feelworld L1 main board actually has RGBlink logo. L1 is RGBlink miini, L2 is RGBlink mini+, they are identical in hardware and firmwares are cross-compatible. The only thing that prevents turning L1/mini into mini+ is XPOSE software.
That thumbnail lol
nice video mate, it looks a bit magenta. but it's a good video TY.
it's probably the weird lighting. I have been experimenting with a few coloured lamps :)
